Ten Minute Scrap Pile Challenge

Jessica Witty posed a challenge to make a card from your scrap pile in ten minutes. I never seem to throw away my scraps, yet I never go back to use them so I thought this was a great idea! Here's my scrap pile card:

In the interest of full disclosure, I must admit that this card actually took me longer than ten minutes. I know that for a fact because Melissa was timing me. (She didn't think I could make anything in ten minutes.) I do however, have an explanation. I couldn't find my polka dot stamp. Now usually my Technique Tuesday stamps are easy to find since I keep them in a binder. However, this one had somehow fallen out and it was lost amidst the piles of scraps from 70+ Christmas cards I made. Once I unearthed it, I did finish the card in ten minutes. Next time, I won't start the timer until I have all my supplies assembled. LOL!

About My Blog Name

Some 25 years ago, my husband gave me the most beautiful gift -- his last name. Many people often comment on how nice my name is and point out that my last name means "eternal." When I started making cards I began using a play on words for my signature and instead of signing "eternally yours" on the back, I used "Eterno-ly yours." That became my creative signature and there was no second guessing what I would name this blog!
